Num Lock indicator on Latitude E5550
Is there no way to visually see whether the Num Lock is enabled or disabled -- even if only at the time the button is pushed? I guess I'm thinking of a utility or that briefly shows an indicator on the screen.

Hi Adamup
In some Dell models, Dell's "Quickset" utility has an OSD (on screen display) for things like numlock and capslock. Here is the link to an older version of that util. I don't know if it will work on your machine as it's not "officially supported" by Dell for your model. You'll also need to run this in compatibility mode for Windows 7...unless you have windows 7 in which case it will either install correctly or produce a message that says it cannot.
Here's that Link to Quickset
All the original support for your machine can be found at the support page for your model. Remember to select YOUR operating system to display the appropriate driver and util support.

Hello Adamup
Nice to hear from you.
Unfortunately there is no Dell utility that can help with your query.
But, here is nice tool which you can try from cnet downloads

though Dell has not tested it , but as per public review its one of the fines tool you can use.

"One of the fines tool you can use"??? The current version has only 4 votes total. And, one of those is a one-star vote.
Can you please point me to the appropriate page on the Dell site to suggest Dell create a utility for the Latitude that does this?
Thanks!

5 votes as of today 1/20, and one of the voters states that Avira detected a virus.
Sounds like an over-sight by Dell.

Hello,
Unfortunately there is no Dell utility which does the same job.
